Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Acetylbutyrate
Description4-Acetylbutyrate, also known as 5-oxohexanoate or 5-ketocaproic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. 4-Acetylbutyrate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
